I was expecting answers. I was expecting to find out how Basim becomes the Loki re-incarnation we met in Valhalla but instead we find out his best friend was actually just a hallucination. It felt a bit lacklustre but it doesn't take away from the rest of the story.
The gameplay was nice. There was a heavy focus on stealth which is what The Assassins are all about - melee combat was a little bit weak but that's understandable considering the game wants you to be stealth - like a mirage.
Yes there was nothing grand and the stakes never really felt that big but the game wanted to feel like a classic assassin's creed game. It felt like a bog standard day in the life of an assassin: Kill this guy to find out who they work for and then find out some weird sci-fi stuff at the end.

One of the few games I'd describe as perfect. From the way side quests are set up from the beginning of the game, to the stupid dad jokes littered throughout, to the 300+ page enchiridion that you're able to fully read cover to cover, to the stunning visuals (especially those studio Ghibli scenes) to the gorgeous soundtrack. The only problems with the game are only noticeable after playing the 2nd but even then, they don't ruin the game on any way
